Lid alignment

happy Labor Day everyone......
i will be replacing my gasket soon ( I owe RRP an email I did not forget) and as I was looking over my large I noticed There was a slight over hang on the lid  in the back. I figure indeed to do an alignment so that brings up my first question.... Should I wait till I install the new gasket before I atempt the alignment?
my next question is more of a concern... When I went around the back of the egg I noticed both bolts ( left and right) on the bottom of the hinge the ones where the spring hooks onto  are bent up.
is this normal? 
Just does not seem right to me! But what do I know
